    Yeah thats the one...damn it looks so beautiful. Asetek have dropped prices by 50% and they are tempting me!!!

    What do you do with the extra outlet? Do you link them together later on down the loop?

    Well Asetek blocks arent the best performers so I wouldn't bother with them.

    And blocks with the 3 barbs are so that the water can be sprayed straight above the die. The two outlets can then be connected back together with a Y splitter, or used for something else.

    anyway follow the 2 tubes ont he right and left of the middle tube they are the outlest leading onto a brass y splitter, thats the best way to do unles you use a manifold.

    How is this for a setup:

    Danger Den Maze 5 RBX,
    Black ICE Pro 2 Radiator,
    Tygon tubing,
    Eheim 1048,
    Critcool PCI Pump Relay Card,
    Typhoon 5.25" Bay Resoivior,
    Water Wetter.

    Is this a decent water cooling solution? Can you have UV dye mixed in with water wetter?

    Merry Xmas

    Probably a very expensive setup but it should perform rather well. As for uv die and water wetter there shouldn't any probs. Watch out on those danger den blocks to secure the fittings (usinig colars or such). they aren't puch ins.
    Good luck

    Well I have learnt a few things...if you are gonna do things...do them good.

    It was one of the most expensive setups I found :D

    Most people think if they have a huge noisey pump they will get much better peformance.

    Actually a 1048 should perform fine with that setup. But you that type of block is designed for high flow. It depends whether you want a quiet pump that won't perform quite as well, o a loud pump that will peform better.

    I think I may get a Danger Den Maze 4 instead. It was the block I was gonna get until I saw the RBX. It has good performance which surely is not beaten hugely by the RBX.
